Report: Chris Pine in talks to play Jack Ryan…

Harrison Ford may have expressed interest in playing Jack Ryan again for the next film but it’s either Harrison changed his mind or Paramount doesn’t want him.

“Star Trek’s” Chris Pine is in talks with Paramount to star as Jack Ryan for the next Jack Ryan movie.

So far there’s been four Jack Ryan movies with different actors playing them. Chris Pine could be the next Jack Ryan star.

Chris would make a great Jack Ryan. I still prefer Harrison Ford reprising the role though, wonder what’s the story on that?

Cool Video: Expendables trailer is now online!!!

Finally, a high quality trailer has surfaced the internets! WOW!!!!!! THE FILM LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING! I so can’t wait!

I am feeling this will be the best action film ever made in a long time. Looks fuckin’ awesome and badass, man, I want to see it so badily.

I’ve never been this excited for a film in a long time!

Watch this quick before there’s a possible chance of the video being taken down due to a copyright claim. Enjoy this while it lasts.

Cool Video: “Iron” Mike Tyson on Oprah…

In the past, “Iron” Mike Tyson maybe one of the world’s most hated boxers and the most controversial in sports, but now that he is a full grown man, he wants to show the world that he is not the monster that people are making him out to be.

I think he is doing a very good job at it too. He really makes you feel like he’s a human being and actually feel sorry for him.

I usually hate Oprah Winfrey but this is one of the best episodes she’s done in a long time. In this emotional and sad interview, Iron Mike opens up on a lot of things, like domestic violence, rape, biting Holyfield’s ear, his daughter, etc.

In the movie, “Tyson”, Iron Mike never talked about the Holyfield incident in the film but Oprah asked him about it in this interview. Mike claims the reason he bit Holyfield was that Holyfield was winning the match, getting the most punches and Mike was upset about it.

I would reccomend you to see the movie, “Tyson” as well. Very good film. One of the best sports films I’ve seen in a long time.

Report: Arnold to force legal action on his own wife, Maria Shriver…for talking on cell phone while driving?

Ya know, just because you’re family doesn’t mean you’re above the law. TmZ caught Maria Shriver talking on the cell phone in Cali while driving, when it”s illegal in that state.

Arnold didn’t defend her.

He tweeted to TMZ’s Harvey Levin, thanking him for bringing this to his attention and said there will be swift action.

See Arnold’s twitter page here:

So Arnie likes TmZ and supports Harvey. Look like Maria will have to say “hasta la vista” to her cell phone while driving.

Report: Celebrities ruining Twitter? Hollywood think they own that site?

As we all know, Twitter is very popular with famous celebrities. Yes, many of those celeb accounts in Twitter is really them posting. They post pictures in their “twitpics” to prove it’s really them posting in their accounts.

Celebs are hogging twitter over regular people who are NOT famous like me who like to use that site. Yes, Twitter is a good promotional tool for whatever career you do, and it maybe fun to tweet about what goes on in your personal life but you must use it responsibly just like you use any other site or chat room on the world of the internets.

Notice when regular people like me who are not famous, try to reply to a famous celeb in Twitter, they don’t reply back. Why is this? Because celebs are living in their own worlds and a lot of them are delusional. They won’t reply to anybody unless you’re a famous celeb yourself. They only reply to other celebs, not you.

Twitter is kind of a cool site, but I only signed up for it, so I can tweet about what’s going on with me of what I don’t post in my blog. I didn’t sign up for it ’cause I think I’m a “celebrity” when I know I’m not. I signed up for it, ’cause I think it would be cool to write things in very short sentences. Plus, I signed up for it to follow celeb pages for laughs.

Report: Bryan Singer wants to direct “X-Men 4″…

It seems that Bryan Singer wants to return to the X-Men franchise. He is in talks with 20th Century Fox to direct the fourth installment of the X-Men series.

It seems he badily misses working on X-Men, that he seemed to come up with a new idea for the next film. Maybe he saw Bret Rattner’s “X-Men: The Last Stand” and thought the film sucked so he can come back to save the series.

Singer directed the first two X-Men flicks, but dropped out of X-Men 3 “The Last Stand” due to immediately jumping on the opportunity to direct “Superman: Returns” for Warner Brothers.

Now that there are no new plans for a new Superman movie in the works due to the Seigels heated feud with DC/Warner Bros, Singer still wants something to do in the comic book genre.

More on it here:

That’s good, I’m glad Singer’s coming back. I fucking LOVED the first X-Men movie, 2nd one was pretty good. Didn’t like the third one.

Singer should have stayed with the X-Men movies, I’m glad he wants back in! Yeah!

Since Playboy is doing animated characters for the first time ever with Marge Simpson, they plan to do much more female characters.

  4. Holli Would from “Cool World”
  5. Wilma and Betty from the “Flintstones”

Report: “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3-D” is coming, but will be made by the makers of “Saw” and not by Michael Bay’s Platinum Dune’s…

Twisted Pictures, the film company who owns the “Saw” series, is in final negotiations with Lionsgates studios to continue the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” series. Twisted and Lionsgate will take over “TCM”, which they will get the rights from New Line/Michael Bay’s Platinum Dune’s. New Line/Platinum Dune’s already made two “TCM movies which was the remake and a prequel. There will be a third movie which will be made in 3-D. Twisted Pictures plans to make more films with “TCM” which is what this deal is for.

They want to keep Leatherface and the “Saw” villain, Jigsaw under the same company.

Variety Reports:

Hope they make the next Texas Chainsaw gory and really gruesome, that’s the way these movies are supposed to be. With the makers of Saw now in charge, I’m sure they’ll make the TCM movies better.

Marcus Nispel’s version of “TCM” was really good, I liked it, but the gore should still make an improvement.

I like this move. Interesting.

Report: Amy Winehouse, finally working on new album, hopes to release next year in 2010!!! Yeah!!!

Yes, FINALLY! Amy Winehouse is finally working on new music. The follow up to her 2006 album “Back to Black” has already been recorded as a demo. Her label’s boss heard a few songs and they really floored him.

Amy hasn’t released a new album since 2006 due to struggling with her personal life.

More on it here:

It’s about time she’s in the studio again. Looking forward to hearing new songs and getting her new album. I’ve always took her music seriously.
